Automatic and on-demand jet recovery.

 

On-demand solvent cleaner purge and ink refill.

 

Manually-actuated capping station, available off-

Vacuum/Pressure System

Maintains negative relative pressure at the print-

 

heads and provides air pressure for purging.

 

Nominal relative vacuum: 4.80 inches H2O

 

(8.97 mm Hg)

 

Since relative pressure is maintained, the printer can

 

be operated at various altitudes above or below sea

 

level without adjustments to the system.

 

 

Media Handler

Supply and takeup for roll-to-roll handling; use of

 

takeup is optional. Supply accepts 3-inch or 2-inch

 

cores, takeup accepts 3-inch cores only. The media

 

supply roll can be loaded and unspooled in either

 

direction for printing on either side. Releasable pinch

 

rollers ease roll-fed media loading and enables rigid

 

cut-sheet media loading.

 

DisplayMaker 98SI: Spool supports and reinforce-

 

ment sleeve supports the weight of longer rolls of

 

media less than 72 inches wide.

 

 

Drying System

Contact preheater, platen heater, and postheater

 

with user-selectable settings (not used for rigid cut

 

sheets). Optional auxiliary dryer fans speed drying

 

for high-coverage and high-speed prints.

 

 

Software Features

Touch screen LCD with graphical interface.

 

Automatic calibration and detection/substitution of

 

missing jets.
